Hi guys,
Jay Weston here from Binary Space. We are porting our PC game, Zombie Outbreak Simulator (ZOS) to iOS. ZOS met with a huge buzz online when it was released 2 years ago and went on to be played over 2.8 million times. We are now developing ZOS for the iPhone and iPad, with the addition of pinch to zoom features that show the outbreak on an even larger scale. Here is our work in progress!

ZOS is a sandbox game running on Google Maps (R) that allows you to observe a zombie outbreak in an actual, photographic, real world environment. Infection options allow you to tailor an outbreak to your hearts content - create classic "slow-movers", and disarm the population, or adjust zombie speed to modern day "fast-movers", and give everyone a gun. See the screenshot below for the full list of options for creating your own flavor of outbreak:

The following video is our latest development update showing the game in its current state, which is mostly feature complete except for the infection options.

I'm a bit Lost here is this going to be "a game" or just something for you to watch?

Somewhere in the middle probably, that's why we call it a sandbox game. As per the settings screenshot, you can adjust things like zombie speed and civilian accuracy then reset the simulation and see how the outbreak unfolds, then adjust and re-run, etc.

The game runs on Google Maps imagery so yes you will need to be online. If there's a huge demand for an offline mode we may include it at some point.

Consider this a request for offline mode. It would be great if Apple would allow for Google Maps to be saved locally so they could be downloaded then played offline.

More interactivity would be nice, maybe a playable character. See iOS game Manesty for an example of a game where you can't control characters directly but offers rewarding play.
